WOW - I realize Charleston is picked top of the league again but they opened with a 17.5 point spread over Elon which has now moved to 16.5. Talk about no respect. I know it would be a tall order for the Phoenix to come out of TD Arena with a win but I was putting Charleston as a 9.5 point favorite. I guess we shall see. If I was betting on this game, I think I would take the Phoenix and the points. Hoping TK will be back for this game.

If TK is back I think we have a chance of pulling off the upset. We'll have to play great defense though, which hasn't exactly been our strong suit. If LA, Nick, Higgins, TK and Ervin all catch fire on threes, I give us a solid chance of winning. That's asking a lot, but why not!!Go Phoenix!!

We both average about the same points a game and give up about the same amount of points per game. Stats wise we are pretty even across the board. They are undefeated at home this year as we are so they certainly get the home court advantage. I am really puzzled by the 16.5 point spread. Does Vegas know something??? Just seems awfully large. I agree in we must have TK to have a chance. He will get us to the line and draw attention to open up shots for Ervin, Higgins, Dorn, LA and others. As you said just got to hope we can knock them down. Go Phoenix!!!

No Dorn??? Injured or Coach’s decision?

Dorn has a "minor" injury. May miss Saturday but should be good after that - Hopefully!!!

No flow to this game at all. TK was more than rusty and the inability to make good shots killed us in this game. The game was closer than the score shows. Was an 8 - 12 point game most of the way in the second half. WOuld of loved Dorn to have been able to play. Hopefully he is only out a game or two. Another tall order on Saturday as we play probably the best team in the league in Drexel.

The team looked jittery. Not mentally prepared for the game. Agree TK was rusty. The cross-eyed midget, (Pat Kelsey), deserved numerous technicals, but the refs were intimidated & I think we may have been too. It's really too bad we're not playing them at home this year. I'd really love to yell that little prig down. No class at all.
